Ric, Derek, and I have been having a wonderful time together while I've had off for mid-winter break. One of the highlights was going to Kopachuck State Park. What an amazing place, where we were able to observe nature, throw rocks in the water, and take a hike on the pebbly beach! Also, we spent a great deal of time at Pt. Defiance Park where we watched the sun set through the trees. On one occasion I told Derek to look at the orange through the trees, and I said, "AWESOME!" Derek replied immediately with "AMAZING!"
